The ChassisSemaphore was recently approached by a friend of the company who was now working at AMD and happened to have one of their recently acquired SeaMicro 15000 high density compute chassis available for some short term testing. They offered to loan it to us for a bit in hopes we'd resell them with a particular focus on OpenStack as an enterprise private cloud since it requires some expertise to get up and running. Having never used OpenStack, and even having little experience with AWS and other cloud services, naturally we said, "Of course!"A week or so later, AMD pulled up to the loading dock with 3 pallets of hardware. They'd brought a SeaMicro 15k chassis, and 2 large disk arrays (we decided to only set up one of the arrays given limited cooling in our lab area). A lot of heavy lifting later, we had both devices on the lab bench, powered on, and ready to start deployment.
